~ on having realised there's only 2 weeks until the man with the big red suit arrives ~
I'm floundering a little this year.
I haven't bought all my presents (or even most. I really should write a list instead of just buying more for my kids and ignoring all the others who should be on my list if it existed)
I haven't sent any cards (and I love sending the cards. I'm a total Christmas card fan...no surprises there given my love of snail mail)
I have made white rocky road, rumless rum balls and gingerbread (but we've eaten them all)
But back to the cards. I love getting them and sending them. I do a letter (only for certain people - I don't subject everyone to that!) and I really enjoy the process of sitting down and writing our news and love across the oceans.
I was super organised (earlier) this year and ordered cards from Moo* (of these photos) months ago.
I love them - they're very me and they feel nice too ( I like that in a card).
But... (big problem)...they're still blank.
I can feel some late nights coming on this week... list making, restocking the treats and writing those cards.
How are you faring this December?
Are you a card sender?
*Its probably too late to order now but I think you get a 10% discount on your first order if you click here (and if 10000000 people click I might earn some free stickers or something)
Definitely a card sender...I want to make them though and haven't designed anything yet...so this year am very behind also. Organised in the present department and cake number 2 is in the oven (haha...funny...so is bubba number 2....sorry I digress)...but I foresee some very late ones too! Your cards are gorgeous. Good luck! x
ReplyDeleteI used to be a card sender, I like the idea but somewhere along the way i just stopped. Love the cards that you made & I'm sure you'll get into the swing of it soon!
ReplyDeleteHmm well I am woefully behind on everything Christmas-related this year! Thank you for the alarming reminder that it is only two weeks away ;)
ReplyDeleteOh golly, every year I send cards and every year I send them late! But this year is the worst! I have half written them, bought stamps and they have been sitting on the bench for a few days! I don't know when I'll send them! I'm a little flat this year. Christmas is rolling towards us way too fast!! I'm not ready, motivated or excited.....yet. But the tree is up and it looks good! i just need some quiet time to stare at the tree!
ReplyDeleteyour cards are gorgeous :)
ReplyDeletewe've been busy cleaning, cooking & decorating - cards are on the to-do list for Thursday.
I was super-organised this year, also made our own Christmas cards. I hope you have received yours already, as it went in Dad's case to Aus x.
ReplyDeleteYesterday!!!and you completely tricked me with the Aussie stamps. I was hoping for some gruffalo ones!!
DeleteSometimes it's hard to get your festive happening on cue. You'll get there, Ally. x
ReplyDeleteDespite my best intention the days up to Christmas always get away from me. I love receiving cards but hate writing them. Although I want to, I never seem to have any inspiration when I write, too tired usually and then I start to make mistakes and have to start again and then it really starts to lose it's appeal! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards by the way!
